HAVING mentioned several important
business enterprises that were to be started
in this place which never reached any

pleted and ready to run. Messrs Burnett &
Adams, whom the village have to thank for
it, are Bethel boys. Frank Burnett, the
senior partner is a resolute worker, with
plenty of push. l.. X. Adams, the junior
partner is also good worker and very ex-
cellent mechanic, who always does his work
well. These sterling qualities, backed by
full set of the most improved modern laun-
dry machinery, cannot fail of doing fine
work and making the enterprise a success in
every respect as it ought to be. - Ma
